Description:

Set out for a rip-roaring watery adventure in the wilderness with a white-knuckled ride through the rapids of the Savegre River. Off-road through the rainforest, paddle through the roiling waters of the river, and reward yourself with a delicious and authentic Costa Rican lunch in a rural village.

Your adventure begins with a wild 4x4 ride through Costa Rica’s tropical jungle. Take in the breathtaking scenery of remote landscapes and palm plantations as you leave the village of El Silencio, a tiny cluster of thatched roof dwellings amid the trees.

Weave through the mountains until you reach your put-in location on the banks of the Savegre. Get equipped and settled comfortably into your sturdy, manageable 2–6-person rafts and dip your paddles into the water, cruising down a gentle stretch of waterway before tackling your first rapids. When the water starts to churn and froth beneath you, plunge forward through thrilling Class II, III, and IV rapids, feeling the adrenaline rush as you drop and plummet with the river’s tumultuous swells.

Take a break from paddling and kick back in the sunshine, admiring views of the abundant wildlife that call the river home. Watch the trees and riverbanks for egrets, osprey, toucans, parrots, kingfishers, cormorants, and other bird species that flock to this protected area of the rainforest. After a steady, 13-mile (20-km) float down the river, head back to El Silencio, where a typical Tico lunch and local refreshments are the perfect way to wrap up your day of excitement.
